About Feversham Arms Hotel & Verbena Spa

The Feversham Arms began life as a coaching inn beside Helmsley's church and has grown into the most comfortable base in this corner of the national park. Rooms are spread between the original stone building and a series of quieter garden wings, and range from classic doubles to suites with private terraces and log burners. The mood is country-house rather than corporate, with open fires, deep sofas and a bar that fills up with walkers and locals in equal measure.

The Verbena Spa is what sets it apart. There is a heated outdoor pool that stays open year-round, a thermal suite, and a full treatment list, all of which make this a sensible choice for a short break where the weather may not cooperate. The restaurant leans on Yorkshire producers and takes non-residents, and afternoon tea in the drawing room is a fixture.

Location is close to ideal for exploring the southern moors. Helmsley Castle, the walled garden and Duncombe Park are within a few minutes' walk, the Cleveland Way starts in the market place, and Rievaulx Abbey is a short drive up the valley. Sutton Bank, Pickering and the steam railway are all comfortably within half an hour, and there is parking on site.
